Posts: 46                Firstly, I'm not sure if the Developer Referrals 
program is allowed to be discussed by those outside of it (like the Beta 
program). If it's not allowed, then apologies.

I have had a healthy number of clients for years but I have access to some more 
manpower these days and was considering joining the referral program. I know 
there's a little information at 
http://www.realsoftware.com/support/prioritysupport.php but I don't know how 
up-to-date that is and don't really want to throw a few hundred bucks at it if 
there aren't many leads at the moment. Obviously we can't talk in specifics but 
I'm wondering if people feel this is a worthwhile program to be a part of? Are 
leads increasing for you? Decreasing?

I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance before I join up, there's not 
much info out there to go on. Thanks for any comments!

Location: Lenexa, KS                I've been part of the Referral program for 
many years now.  I think it's the easiest way to find consulting clients as 
they've already decided to use Real Studio.

I believe it's worth the cost since one good sized project will offset the cost 
of the program.  Many of the clients we've picked up have retained us and 
continue to come back with new projects and updates to existing projects.  
That's the real value of the program because once they've found you (and are 
happy with your work) they'll keep coming back - at no cost.

In a decade of doing this we've gone from one developer (me) to three full-time 
developers and a full-time QA/project manager.  For many years the Referral 
Program was our bread and butter way of finding clients.
